Marmalade's Love Potion

A cosy cottagecore romance with witches, ethereal forests, and ghosts that creep amongst the shadows...

Sequestered in the wilds of ethereal Faewood, Princess Penelope has spent her life yearning for love and home. Long abandoned by family and shunned by her peers, Penelope’s hopes are waning.

An unexpected invitation to the Dark Moon Ball may be her last chance to win the love of her dreams. Desperate for a fairy tale, Penelope beseeches a witch to ensure her happily ever after.

Instead, she is spelled into the path of ancient horrors, enchanting strangers with dangerous secrets, and hard truths at odds with her desires. Raising ghosts of the past that threaten more than she dreamed, Penelope must choose between the love she craves, and the path she is fated for.

The Adventures of Marmot & Marmalade

A collection of tiny tales for cosy teatime reading...

Marmalade is a mysterious wood witch who dwells in a hollow red tree deep in the wilds of Faewood.

Her companion (and self-appointed apprentice), Marmot, is a chaotic woodland critter with a penchant for mischief and mossy baked goods.

Together they confront the dangers of the forest, learn new magics, share tea by the hearthside, and find a sense of family that stands the test of time.

After watching the Hetalia english dub, the disparity between the interpretations of the Western and Eastern fandoms suddenly make a lot more sense… a lot of the lines were changed so much to cater to localization to the point that the characters’ personalities became completely warped from the Japanese version. 😯

This or that... Which tiny tale would you rather read over a brew of tea? ✨ One about:

🍁 a ghost who giggles as they chase the memory of their twin around the ribbons of encircling tree trunks

or…

🍄 a bumpy black toad who reads the poetry of a prince hidden in the enchanted hollows of a secret tree

Going over King Lear again before my lit finals and i gotta say. Edmund is the funniest motherfucker sometimes.

This dude does a whole monologue where he basically goes "Man do y'all see this shit this is the pinnacle of PROOF of one's sheer fucking STUPIDITY, when motherfuckers believe in this 'oooo the stars ooo the lunar eclipse ooo the solar eclipse, now tragedy is gonna strike!!! its the planet's fault that bad things are happening to me!!!' horseshit. Like, NO dumbass, it's all your fuckin fault. I would for SURE still be a conniving little snake shithead bitch, even if I wasn't born out of wedlock under the fucking Big Dipper. Get a fucking life."

Then Edgar walks in and is like "Hello dearest brother why do you seem so glum? " and Edmund fucking goes "Oh nothing.... Just remembering this book I read about the unfortunate happenings that occur after solar and lunar eclipses....." Objectively hilarious fucking move honestly I have to respect it.
